Tapas aside, there’s also a selection of pizza and pasta to choose from. Dig into the cult-classic Bolognese ($28++), starring a tangy tomato sauce laced with Australian beef wagyu, or the Italian Carbonara ($29++), accompanied by Italian guanciale, AKA pork cheek, if you prefer creamy flavours.

29. Otto Ristorante

Image credit: Kwong Chee Choo via Google Maps

I think by now, you’d have realised that Italian restaurants are either very homey or uber fancy, and Otto Ristorante falls on the fancier spectrum. Pancetta di Maiale Croccante con Ripieno al Forno, Zucca Arrosto e Salsa al Marsala ($48++) is one of those dishes that you have to try! Laced in a savoury-sweet Marsala wine jus and stuffed with baked pumpkin and herbs, this crackling suckling pig is crazy addictive, as the flavours from the sauce complement each other very well. Otherwise, the Troccoli alla Rapa Rossa con Astice, Salsa al Vino Bianco e Pomodorini al Forno ($52++) is another great choice, starring thick strands of beetroot troccoli pasta with fresh Boston lobster in a white wine and baked date tomato sauce.
